Mandatory Five Places Visited In Macao
Macao has some interesting places to visit. Unfortunately, the predicate of the game will remain there for hikers paradise relatively expensive.
As a solution, I stay in Hong Kong and Macao came by ferry. Once at the ferry terminal in Macau hotel and casino golden hues immediately greeted Sands. From there I "ride" Grand Lisboa Casino free bus that will provide the main roads, Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro.
With this route, which can instantly find interesting places that have become the trademark of Macao. But before continuing the journey, I stopped across the street (and in the alley) to buy eggs Coffee Cream cakes Margaret E.
Senado Square
While acknowledging that the egg tart, about 300 yards ahead, when the bottom of the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, the Senate directly visible field with a pond and a fountain in the middle. Why the Senate or Portuguese, Largo do Senado it must be visited?
architect of European-style buildings. Worth seeing in this area is the Church of St. Lawrence. Dominic and the Holy House of Mercy. The latter represents the first institution that triggered the idea of the first Western-style clinic in Macau.
Among the old buildings. Many shops and restaurants can be visited with these old buildings. This place, so the best places to record If this field visit during the day, the sun is hot enough. So be prepared to bring an umbrella or sunglasses.
The ruins of the Cathedral of St. Paul
From Senate Square, the next target, he visited the ruins of the Cathedral of St.. By Paul. Along the road to the ruins are a lot of stalls selling food and souvenirs. Compared to Hong Kong, Macao, shopping is a little 'less. Muslims have tried to be careful of snacks here, because a lot of food for the pork.
By far, the ruins look particularly beautiful flower garden that is on the left side of the hill to the church. From the top of the ruins, Macau city skyline looks pretty impressive. Construction of a luxury casino and colored form in the old buildings and the dark color sometimes seen in the slums a unique blend.
Although there is, as the game time was to enter the building and marvel at the casino interior design casinos in the state of this former Portuguese colony. In addition to The Venetian Macao, there are some pretty catchy casino building from outside or inside.
For example, the Grand Lisboa and MGM Grand, located at Avenida Dr. Sun Yat They Mon As its name suggests, was the theme of the building themed movies. Some parts of the park and the restaurant doubles as a location. Panda Garden is adjacent to the casino in my favorite place to hang out. At each entrance to the casino, we were immediately greeted by a gilded statue of Kung Fu Panda.
Statue of Guan Yin
Not far from the MGM Grand hotel and casino, a statue of Guan Yin, or the martial arts film is often called the goddess Kwan Im. Kwan Im bronze statue is as high as 20 feet above the building in the form of a lotus bud. It seems that the statue of the Virgin Mary was conceived by the Portuguese artist, Cristina Rocha Leiria.
This statue is a bit far from the main island of Macao, as it is this statue is a bit far from the main island of Macao, because it is built on a small artificial island and there is a road long enough track as its liaison. On the left side of the statue, visible center with Macao scientific architect of the building which is no less unique.
Macao Tower
The last place to visit in Macao is the Macau Tower. Its location is at a distance. Moreover, most of the streets of Macao in one direction, so if you want the Tower of Macao should take a taxi. Do not be afraid to face because Macau island is not greater than the South Jakarta Declaration.
Who wants to test your nerves trying to bungee jump Macau Tower. Only when prices jump quite expensive. For backpackers like me, the prize went to the tower was also quite expensive.
I ended up enjoying a lunch at a restaurant across from the Friendship Bridge (Ponte de Sai Van) that connects the island of Macau with Taipa Island.

Komodo Dragon - The Real Giant Reptil in the World
Komodo Dragon - The Real Giant Reptil in the World
The Komodo dragon, Varanus komodoensis, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami.
A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum of length 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb).
Their unusual size has been attributed to island gigantism, since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the niche on the islands where they live.
However, recent research suggests that the large size of komodo dragons may be better understood as representative of a relict population of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, along with other megafauna, died out after the Pleistocene.
